Summary, in English
This article analyses the ideas and potential contribution of dematerialisation and eco-efficiency, and an innovation framework to promote Sustainability and increasing business competitiveness. From a strategic point of view and productivity approach, initiatives to reducing the resource intensity in producing products and providing services include: dematerialisation of the economy, extending product life, increasing eco-efficiency and, design principles as, recycling and remanufacturing, product substitution and increasing efficiency of the product usage phase. These initiatives are implemented in order to construct a sustainable system in the future, based on principles of economic and technological feasibility, environmental friendliness and social equity. Only practical implementation of these and other initiatives will provide us with answers about balancing those four dimensions of sustainability.
